Unit of competency

Modification History

Release 1. Supersedes and is not equivalent to MSFFL3032 Inspect defective timber flooring.

Application

This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to prepare for, carry out and report on inspections of flooring where there are issues related to defective materials or workmanship. It includes the development of proposals for remediation of faults.

This unit applies to flooring technicians who have a full suite of installation skills and knowledge in one or more areas of flooring technology, and who are only responding to complaints installations undertaken by themselves or their business.

Licensing, legislative or certification requirements may apply to this unit and relevant state/territory and local government agencies should be consulted to determine any necessary certification or licensing for undertaking flooring work. Industry standards and codes of practice within Australia must also be applied. Access to construction sites requires certification of general induction training specified by the National Code of Practice for Induction for Construction Work (ASCC 2007).
